I’m only a few months into my course but my experience at UCD has been very positive so far. The infrastructure is really commendable, and so are the teaching staffs, at least the ones I have. With the 4 large libraries, the student union shops, the ucd lake, the gym, the Olympic size pool, the cafes and restaurants the cinemas, it’s really more like a small town than a university. It’s so huge that it even has bus stops at multiple points inside the campus and a big bus bay. Talking about the courses and building your future, this really isn’t a place where you can come and just slack off. Wouldn’t be ranked so high if that were the case. They have a strong placement cell, internship drives, associations with many renowned companies and whatnot.
